- Simming is an online text-based role-playing game that takes place in a chat room, by e-mail or on an Internet forum. Individual games, known as sims, read like a story -- albeit one written by several people. People who participate in sims are known as simmers or players, and are usually attracted to the game by a love of writing, the ability to develop characters, and the freedom of imagination offered by simming. The most popular sims are based on television and movie series, such as Star Trek, Stargate, and Star Wars. These sims often break into sub-genres -- Stargate SG-1 and Star Trek: Enterprise, for example. Sims can also be set in fantasy realms, historical times, or exist in a unique universe developed by the players. Internet simulation Senate games are also popular. Sims can take place in canon universes, while others are set in parallel universes, alternate realities, or universes loosely based on canon. To hold a sim, one only needs a few people familiar with basic simming concepts to meet online and sim together. However, to facilitate sims, a number of simming organizations have been created to hold regularly scheduled sims, train new players, and provide structure.
